Social Justice Committee

Social Justice Committee

The Social Justice Committee (SJC) is responsible for creating opportunities for members and friends to engage in social justice programs that reflect the congregation’s mission and benefit the larger community. Our main approaches to making a difference are education, service, and advocacy. Our efforts are related to the UUFDC’s following mission statements:

Cares actively for the well-being of the larger community;

Practices conscientious stewardship of the earth;

Pursues equality and justice for all people.

The work we do together helps build relationships between us and with others in the larger community. Social justice work also holds the potential for personal growth and transformation as we reflect on our actions and learn from them. We believe we need to be a part of the change we hope to create.

All UUFDC members and friends are welcome to join us in our journey toward social justice. If you have questions about our programs or are interested in exploring one of our action teams, please contact Paula Christensen or Lynn Mercurio (justice@uufdc.org), SJC Co-Chairs, or the individual action team leaders.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. -The Talmud
